Hi list, I am running a ppc 9500 with PPC SuSE 7.3. The second, non-onboard eth- interface (eth0; 192.168.1.6) is a friendly net 10/100 pci-card with a DEC-chip. This interface works fine, providing the office LAN/Intranet with AppleTalk, ftp, samba, http and rsync (base install, with IP forward enabeled, no firewall). After all the box should also be a router, forwarding the packages to the onboard ethernet device (eth1, 192.168.100.2; -> linked to a bintek router, 192.168.100.1 -> connected to a dsl-modem). I also added the bintec adress as the default route: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 192.168.100.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 40 0 0 eth1 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 40 0 0 eth0 0.0.0.0 192.168.100.1 0.0.0.0 UG 40 0 0 eth1 Strange: its possible to use the mentioned daemons/services and to telnet via LAN to eth0, but it's not possible to ping or get through to eth1 or even reach the bintec-router (and of course to the internet). Did I miss to activate a special service or to edit a certain config-file?? Or is it just impossible to use this ppc as a router (eg the onboard ethernet does not accept ip-packages from a pci-eth-card?). If anyone uses a similar and _running_ routing ppc-box - please let me know (there is another oldworld ppc waiting for doing still a great job...)!
